I’m glad to be back, too. I had the most unproductive summer ever. I mean…I did a lot of work. I stripped and repainted the floor at my aunt’s house, I sanded and repainted the woodpanelling in our basement and helped my dad and my brother put up a new ceiling, and I painted a shed that’s, like, a thousand times my size and took 5 gallons of paint. And the deck. I repainted/stained the deck and the stairs, and repainted the railing in the front.

However, I was working for my family, so I wouldn’t let them pay me. So, in addition to getting the WORST sunburn ever, and losing pretty much all of my skin, I spent the entire summer covered in paint. woo!
